What is the return on investment in a 10T/D plastic pyrolysis plant？

The return on investment in a 10T/D plastic pyrolysis plant needs to be calculated based on plastic raw material price and the respective proportions&prices of plastic pyrolysis products. And the return fluctuates around 2658 USD/D.

The key factor in determining whether a project is worth investing in is to see how profitable the project is. So, whether it is worth investing in a 10T/D plastic pyrolysis plant and what’s the return there? This needs to be calculated based on plastic raw material price and the respective proportions&prices of plastic pyrolysis products.

Here let DOING take a 10T/D conventional plastic mixture pyrolysis plant as an example to calculate the return per day for your reference.

1.Raw material investment/Day:

According to the survey, a ton of conventional plastic mixture will cost 80USD. And the raw material investment of a 10T/D plastic pyrolysis plant is 800USD.

2.Income:

Waste plastics can be processed by plastic pyrolysis machine to obtain useful by-products, such as fuel oil and carbon black, and exhaust gas, all byproducts of plastic pyrolysis can get profits.

①Fuel oil:

Generally speaking, plastic pyrolysis machine can get 50% fuel oil from conventional plastic mixture, which means that about 5 ton fuel oil can be obtained per day.

Fuel oil is a kind of heavy oil and fuel oil. First, it can be used as a fuel oil in various heavy industry plants, such as steel plants, glass plants, cement plants, ceramic plants, boiler plants, pharmaceutical plants, etc., and can also be used for central heating center, etc. Second, the fuel oil also contains 85% diesel, so some large refineries will recycle this fuel oil to refine it into diesel to obtain higher profits. Third, the fuel oil will also be recycled by some asphalt plants to extract asphalt.

Now the price of fuel oil per ton is about 630USD, so the fuel oil income is 3150USD per day.

②Carbon black:

About 35% carbon black can be pyrolyzed by using plastic pyrolysis machine, that’s to say about 3.5 ton carbon black can be obtained per day.

The carbon black produced is 40 mesh carbon black, which can be sold directly to cement plants or brick and tile factories as an additional material, and can also be purchased by the carbon black deep processing plant to be refined to 300-400 mesh carbon black or even 800-1000 mesh carbon black. It can be used as a raw material for manufacturing rubber and tires,, can also be used as a masterbatch for the plastics industry, and can also be made into paints, etc.

Now the price of carbon black per ton is about 88 USD, so the fuel oil income is 308 USD per day. After grinding carbon black powder, the price is higher and the income is more.

③Exhaust gas:

About 15% exhaust gas can be obtained during plastic pyrolysis process. The exhaust gas generated can be used to directly burn and heat the reactor to save fuel and operating costs. But it can also be collected by pressure vessels for other purposes. It is like natural gas, which can be used to heat boilers and generate electricity to create greater benefits.

According to the formula of return equal to income minus investment, we can conclude that the return of plastic cracking plant 10T/D is 2658 USD/D. The plastic pyrolysis plant is worth the investment.
